Im right handed.

I try to scratch with my left, only because there is no way my left can utilize the fader.

ambidextry (or however it is spelled) is the way forward for this. if you ever get tips from the top scratch dudes/dudets they will say to be able to do both.

yup, being able to use both is the key. what amazes me is the people who can switch hands mid-scratch (a la Zabiela in mondaybar video)
